Raj and Uddhav Thackeray, who came together after 20 years in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections, said that their fight is for Marathi. Along with this, he gave a sharp statement regarding Hindi language. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray said that the state's language, land and identity are under threat. People coming from UP and Bihar should not try to impose Hindi in Maharashtra. They don't hate any language, but if you try to impose it on them, I will kick you.
Raj Thackeray Said that they are coming together after 20 years. We are making an alliance, many got tickets and many did not, everything was not in our hands. If anyone gets angry, I apologize. They are ours, will come back.
He said that the reason behind me and Uddhav coming together was because of the crisis in Mumbai. We talked about this many times and then the government imposed strictness on Hindi and both of us got upset and all this started.
Raj Thackeray said that the strictness of Hindi was only to check that Marathi is awakening. Don't know what will happen after 2024, the government started doing whatever came to its mind. Don't ask anyone anything. Where did this belief come from? I have been watching for so many years. Congress was also there. People used to be afraid of the public, but now there is no fear.
Raj Thackeray said that AIMIM and BJP should come together in Akot. Congress and BJP together in Ambernath. 68 people came without election. They found out how to buy people. BJP gave ticket to a drug seller in Tuljapur.
He said that these people are filling the area by bringing in people from outside. One speaks North Indian. Satara, outside Kolhapur. Kripashankar Singh says, Mayor, you are not getting a house in North Indian Mumbai and Maharashtra. A Rasmalai came from the South (Anna Malai) what did he say…Hey @#₹& who called you? For these, Balasaheb said that I will pick it up and play it…
He said that you are alone in Mumbai, but enough is enough. When Biharis were killed in Gujarat, no one said anything. All this to end your existence.
He said that the people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihari should understand that Hindi is not your language. Bhojpuri of Uttar Pradesh and Maithili of Bihar. There is no dispute on language, but it cannot be imposed.
Uddhav Thackeray said that everyone knows the history of Shiv Sena. In the first meeting I did not understand what injustice means to a Marathi person. Today I understood. Do you understand why the two brothers became one? Some people were asking, isn't this the time for Thackeray to fight for his existence?
He asked why they want to eliminate Shiv Sena. Love for Marathi is in the blood. We are saying whatever Raj said. One has come for Marathi. There was no dispute between us, but whatever was there, we buried it and came back.
On the other hand, responding to MNS chief Raj Thackeray's comments against her, BJP leader Annamalai said, "Who are Aditya Thackeray and Raj Thackeray to threaten me? I am proud to be a farmer's son. They have organized meetings just to abuse me. I don't know whether I have become so important or not... Some people have written that if I come to Mumbai, they will cut off my feet. I will come to Mumbai—try cutting off my feet."

He said that if I was afraid of such threats, I would have stayed in my village… If I say that Kamaraj is one of the greatest leaders of India, does it mean that he is no longer a Tamil? If I say Mumbai is a world-class city, does it mean that it was not built by Maharashtrians? These people are just ignorant.”
